"Mistakes should be called to the attention of editors by calling Scott Lebar at (916) 321-1182."

Further notes:

Except for a few AP items, we found no corrections content via the site's search function. There is no corrections page or archive. (The corrections policy at the above link mentions specifically that errors will be corrected in print on A2 and the relevant section; there is no mention of online corrections.)

Corrections link in footer links to a page with corrections policy and archive organized by year.

Corrections policy posted? yes

Here is the policy as of Oct. 2010:

"Salon strives to publish accurate information at all times. Minor errors of spelling, punctuation and the like will be corrected on our Web site without notice. When we correct significant errors of fact or substance, we will note the correction on this page and also on the page containing the corrected version of the original article. If you think Salon has published something in error, please email us."

The sitewide "corrections" link in the page footer points to a corrections policy page. The page links to an archive of corrections that's actually a search on the word "corrections," so stories with corrections notices on them are displayed along with articles about prisons.

Corrections policy posted? yes

Here is the text:

"It is the policy of The Chronicle and SFGate.com to promptly correct errors of fact and to promptly clarify potentially confusing statements. The policy applies to all newsroom employees.

Errors, whether brought to our attention by readers or staff members, will be corrected quickly and in a straightforward manner.

It will be considered unprofessional conduct and a breach of duty if employees are notified of possible errors but fail to respond. Correcting errors and clarifying ambiguous information is a virtue and an admirable practice.

Significant corrections are noted on the archived copy of the article. Recent corrections of Chronicle and Associated Press articles may be found here. Please send requests for corrections to feedback@sfgate.com."

"The Mercury News corrects all significant errors that are brought to the editors' attention. Corrections appear on page 2A and on the site here. If you believe we have made such an error, please send an e-mail tocorrections@mercurynews.com. Please include the date and page number of the error."

The contact page provides an email form (see tab "Request a correction") and says: "submit your comments here or call (206) 464-3310. If applicable, please include the Web address where we can find the article."
